The world got a little bit brighter -
Got mobile and gained my silver tongue -
Hated it -
Still hated it -
I would re-learn this over the years but this was the first proof that I really hate sports and group things like that. -
At solomon elementry school -
At Sauganash -
R.I.P -
When I got my dog blue and got a little older, so my parents started giving me more chores and things to do around the house. -
When I got into 5th grade, kids definetly started to be lot meaner. This helped me understand I'd rather put kindness into the world rather than hate. -
When I started playing guitar and getting into music, it allowed me to gain a new form of expression, songwriting. I would develop(still developing) this skill over many years but it really opened my eyes to the true beauty of music. -
Took a few lessons and enjoyed it -
No one knew what was coming -
One of the worst decisions of my life -
When covid started and I had nothing to do, I turned to drugs to cope with the hardships of being inside. This forced me to learned that I have addictive tendencies. -
When I started at ND, I realized I wasnt similar to the other kids. It wasnt a me or them thing, we just didnt have the same intrests. But being a stupid freshman I thought It was my fault and developed a lot of social anxiety that I still deal with. -
There was like a 3 month span where a went from rehab to the mental hospital -
Through rehab and the menal hospital I learned that no one is going to help you but you. If you want something it has to come from inside you, not people telling you they want it and just going along with it. -
A credit redemption program that really helped me when I needed it -
While at pathways and still feeling down and out, I started looking for new ways to make myself feel better. So I started caring a lot more on my appearance and talking to a lot more people I normally wouldn’t. These few simple changes allowed me to gain a lot of confidence and feel a lot better about myself. What can I say, I'm a social butterfly. -
Through the mental hospital/rehab/PHP, I heard a lot of different experiences of people who came from a wide variety of backgrounds. I learned what things made people feel certain ways and through that, becoming much more aware of my own and other peoples emotional states. This allowed me to better understand myself and the world around me -
Went surprisingly better than I thought -
After starting at taft and meeting my now girlfriend, it was the first time in a long time I felt pride and security in life. This allowed me to gain a much more positive outlook on the world around me and taught me that feeling bad and being pessimistic does nothing. -
Shes the best. We were both in the same band
